Analog Design Engineer; custom DRAM circuits

Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), London, Copenhagen, and Seoul.

As an Analog Hardware Engineer, you will build the core mixed-signal technology powering our unconventional computing architecture.

You will design unique analog circuits, creating library cells as well as macros, to support a unique computational architecture. Working alongside silicon architecture, digital, and layout teams, you will own the end-to-end analog development from clean-sheet circuit design through parasitic extraction and silicon bring-up to unlock unprecedented throughput-per-watt.

• Analog design flow methodology: lead the full analog development cycle including research, exploratory design
• Develop or acquire analog IP for use in Normal Silicon
• Acquire or help direct analog EDA tool development
• Evaluation of memory designs, including SRAM, DRAM, and CIM architectures

• Developed analog IP from spec to GDSII in modern technologies, taped out and brought up.
• Worked on memory technologies (i.e. SRAM, DRAM) on core level (bitcell arrays and peripheral circuits)
• Designed and characterized custom bitcells in schematic and layout
• Fluent in the Cadence flow:
  Virtuoso, Spectre, Assembler, Extraction, Layout, HSMC, Characterization
• Deep understanding of noise and variation and their impacts on silicon performance and reliability

• Lead, taped out, brought up CIM chips
• Experienced and comfortable in a chip measurement environment for debug and characterization
• Have used AI and/or scripting languages (i.e. Python, Perl) to automate design flows and data post-processing
